Warnock To Miss Cup Final?

Martin O'Neill has confirmed that there are doubts over Stephen Warnock recovering in time for the Carling Cup Final against Manchester United.

Speaking to the Daily Mail confirmed that doubts existed over whether Warnock would recover in time and said it would be 'devasting'for both the club and player if that turned out to be the case.

Warnock saw a specialist recently over the niggling shin problem he had developed and has been advised to rest up for two weeks, this leaves only one week for a fuller assessment and proper training before the Final on Feb 28.

'It is worrying for Stephen and he has done so much to get us to the Cup Final. It would be devasting if he missed that.'
